Hey Greg! Just here with a few questions
1) Are the YJ comics more of a way to explain the events during/in between the shows to the viewers. Things that may not have been mentioned or clear enough. OR would you say they serve as more of a way to get information and story lines out there in order to base future episodes off of them? maybe both? just curious.
2) Do you ever get annoyed by the questions, responses and posts that fans put out there? ex. heated (and occasionally baseless) fan pairing wars, "hating" on particular characters, ect.
3) this may seem silly to ask, but do you have a favorite character amongst the group? or one that you find the most interesting
4) It is always fun to guess at new characters and appearances on the show, but do you ever worry that too big of a group will take away from the development of each individual character?
1. Either, both, neither. Mostly, it's just another outlet for us to tell stories set in this universe with these characters.
2. You're new here, aren't you?
3. ASKED AND ANSWERED.
4. Of course, but we have to be true to the universe we're developing. Believe me, there were at least SEVEN more MAJOR characters that we wanted to add to Season Two that will NOT be appearing at all on the television series because there just wasn't any room for them. So they'll have to be saved for the comic book and/or a potential Season Three (if there is one).
hey Greg!
i think its great that you let fans ask questions, especially since you must get frustrated when fans go and ask the same questions over and over, so i checked and double checked the archives before asking this, but if its a repeat, i apologize.
1)in many comic books, more adult like topics are discussed. (ie: child abuse, drug abuse, pregnancy)and i know you have cleared the subject of Wally's child abuse multiple times, but are such topics allowed to be discussed at such a children oriented network?
2) I've heard of other comics books and shows that the public in that such universe is convinced that superheroes don't have secret identities, is that true of earth-16?
3)in the most recent episode, it was shown captain marvel saying Shazam! and transferring to the adult universe, and rescuing his pilot. i assume that the lightning that struck him destroyed the plane, but did the lightning not affect Amber, or did she somehow fall out of the plane beforehand?
thanks for taking the time to answer these :)
1. It depends how they're handled.
2. Some characters have secret identities; some do not.
3. The magic lightning had NO effect on the plane. On the adult dimension, the plane was back in its hangar in Fawcett City. In the kid dimension, the pilotless plane eventually crashed into the ocean. This question has already been ASKED AND ANSWERED. For a fuller response, check the archives.
Hey, Mr. Greg Weisman,
I made a mistake on my last posting. That last one was actually my sixth posting, not my fifth. The one Iâm doing now is my seventh posting.
Iâve got a quick interesting question I need to ask you. Has a prequel movie (which would probably focus on the Justice League, with the sidekicks in a minor role) ever been considered by your team to help lead into the beginning of the events of Season One, or to help connect the plot elements of Seasons One and Two?
Thanks for taking the time to read this question. Hope to find out how you will respond. Oh, I almost forgot, on my fifth posting, the one I did last night with the list of names, Wizardâs first name was misspelled. I meant to say William, not Willaim.
No, it hasn't been discussed. I'd love to, of course, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Hi Question about Kid Flash and Artemis:
What were they doing together that they walked in together in the beginning of "Revelation"?
Nothing significant. For all we know, they weren't together and simply entered the hallway at the same time.
1. Going off from what someone previously asked, can Artemis speak as many languages as her father and sister?
2. I was just wondering, do you think that in general Artemis is confident in most social situations, or more shy/awkward?
3. How would you describe Artemis' relationship with Roy presently?
4. Who is Artemis' closest to on the team?
1. <shrug>
2. I think she actively PROJECTS confidence, which is not the same thing as having it. (Same with Wally, by the way. It's one of the things I see them having in common.)
3. With Roy? Mostly non-existent. That might change now, after the revelations of "Usual Suspects" and "Auld Acquaintances" but I can't talk about that now, as it's a SPOILER.
4. Zatanna, probably. Though I think she's close to M'gann and Robin and Aqualad - and even to Wally in their strange way. This is NOT meant to imply that she gets along badly with Superboy and/or Rocket, but I don't think they're as close.
The entire team (except Artemis)saw how Wally reacted to Artemis' death in the simulation in "Failsafe." It would be apparent to all of them that Wally wouldn't have reacted that way unless he had very strong feelings for Artemis. Black Canary found out about it. So, isn't it reasonable to think that someone on the team told Artemis about Wally's reaction to her death and that Artemis would realize how Wally feels about her?
It's not reasonable, but I don't see it as an absolute either. Nevertheless, it wouldn't surprise me if M'gann hinted at it to Artemis. My gut is that it would only tend to confuse and trouble Artemis MORE not less.
If you could, would you have put your Spectacular Spider man on the team?
I'm afraid that kind of hypothetical just has no meaning to me.
Why does Robin have two different kinds of batarangs? One kind is similar to Batman's while the other is more circular. Is there a reason for this?
Different tools for different tasks.
Were the alien ships in Failsafe based on any alien race in the comic? If so who were they?
They were not.
1. What was the gem in Misplaced called?
2. Where did Ultra Humanite get his scar across his mouth?
3. Do you know why Young Justice Invasion only has 20 episodes instead of 26?
1. Ambre Jeune Perdu.
2. It came with the body. (For more on this, see issue #19 of our companion comic book.)
3. That's how many Cartoon Network ordered.
Hey Greg!
I recently saw this line from an interview with Steven Bochco in the early 80's, talking about Hill Street Blues (which currently has its first two-and-a-half seasons on Hulu Plus, by the way):
"Maybe the biggest problem with Hill Street, in terms of popular success, is that it is a show that demands to be watched. And most people do not watch television. They simply are in its presence."
I love that quote. What an insightful way to encapsulate about what was essential and great about Hill Street Blues, without going into all the details of what made it so outstanding. Just leave at this: unlike nearly anything before it, in many ways it was a show that demanded to be watched. I think that characteristic also applies to Gargoyles as well, no doubt due to the major influence Hill Street Blues had on the show (as you've often mentioned).
Nowadays, that quality, of being a show that "demands to be watched," is characteristic of so many excellent shows that appear on HBO, Showtime or AMC (before hitting DVD boxsets and iTunes), places where popular success isn't the one and only yardstick. And again and again, we've seen how this kind of series can flourish in the atmosphere of creative freedom offered by these outlets.
Can viewers hope that someday soon, that kind of environment will produce an animated serial drama that has the same level of quality, complexity and acclaim as these channels' current headline series? If so, what might it take for that to happen?
Hey, Zach. Long time no see. I'd heard that quotation about Hill Street before, and couldn't agree more.
I appreciate you think Gargoyles falls in the same category. It's flattering and certainly what we strived for. I don't pretend that we were as good as Hill Street Blues, but no one can accuse us of not going for it.
As to your question, I like to think that W.I.T.C.H., Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice and Young Justice: Invasion also qualify. At least at Gargoyles' level. So I think it's already possible. But that's just my - apparently not so - humble opinion.
I know this is all about the young heroes but will Batman and Wonder Woman have any interaction?
By now, hopefully, you've seen that they already have. And if it weren't for that fact, my response would have been SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT. So why clutter the queue with this kind of question?
I don't mean to pick on you, Caterina, but I'm trying to EDUCATE Ask Greg posters as to what MAKES SENSE to post.
Does Zatanna like Robin the way he likes her? Because she was ok with his flirting but I don't see a big connection with them.
Then you're not looking very hard.
I didn't mean to disrespect Aquaman in my last post. I didn't mean that he was less of an effective hero it is just refreshing that the other members of the league are not so overpowered that they make him look weak in comparison. I would also like to thank you for having YJ updates. It is a very interesting way for fans to look at the production process of animation so keep it up!
Thanks.
1. In Misplaced I noticed that Wotan's magic was red when it was orange in Revelation. Not to nitpick but was he harnessing the power of chaos instead of the magic he normally uses?
2. When Martian Manhunter uses telekinesis to enhance his strength is he the same level as some of the heavy hitters of the league or is he closer to Aquaman's strength level? I don't like to ask who is stronger then who I am just trying to find out what is Aquaman's combat prowess in the league is.
3. What were the Pentagram symbols in Misplaced based on?
1. Don't ask the color deficient guy.
2. Combat prowess and raw strength are two different things. Superman's the strongest of the Leaguers. Icon, Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman are up there. Aquaman and a telekinetically enhanced Martian Manhunter and a Quantum-energized Captain Atom are close. I'd put Red Tornado, Hawkman and Hawkwoman just behind them. Neither Flash nor Plastic Man nor Zatanna nor Atom have super-strength, but their powers can sometimes give them more oomph. At the "bottom" are folks like Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Rocket, though of course, they're all way stronger because of their training than the average human being. And of course, you have the Green Lanterns, who can use willpower and rings to mimic strength too - and maybe even top Superman when they're on their game. Same - in his own way - with Doctor Fate. I think that covers the whole League.
3. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
I am really off my game in asking questions or writing them anyway. Why is it that when Wotan casts magic some of it is nonverbal and other times he uses Latin to cast them?(SUCCESS!) For example in Revelation he summons lightning against the team without speaking, but when he fights Doctor Fate he uses several incantations.
Actually, Wotan did speak to summon the lightning in Revelations, using the Archmage's old spell, in fact.
But in any case, Wotan has many tools in his toolbox.
Hey,
Just wanted to put it out there. I thought it interesting that although Zatanna and Zatara are probably Catholic, they practice magic. If you want to get technical, the Catholic Church is against the use of magic. (I am Catholic)
But I know this is a fictional story, so the rules can probably be bent a bit :)
Keep up the good work! Love the series!
I know a LOT of Catholics who consider themselves Catholic but don't follow EVERY tenant of the religion. (For that matter, I'm a Jew that doesn't follow many tenants of MY religion.) It doesn't have to be a 'fictional story' for that.
Even though their not Dating dose Wonder Woman has feeling for Batman
It depends what kind of feelings you're talking about.
How old is Dr. Serling Roquette?
Serling is 22 as of the end of Season One.
First, I just have to say this is most definitely the best DCAU show since Justice League Unlimited finished. There's something in it for everybody; there's just two questions I've got for you...
1) Is Wally eventually going to learn to be more imaginative with his powers? When they amount to being able to "Run really, really fast", it's really easy for him to turn into just another comic relief.
On another note, I really like what you're doing so far with Superman being extremely awkward around Superboy and so far being a terrible role model... it kind-of really fits him, IMO. And, on a related note to that, my second question: Are we ever going to see the Kents in this show?
Technically, we're not part of what most fans consider the DCAU, but thanks.
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
What is the color of Rocket's powers? Is it blue or pink? Cause in Revelation it was pink and misplaced it was blue. I know weird question
I don't know. I myself am Red-Green color deficient, so I'm not the best person to answer color questions.
Do Kid Flash and Robin hang out together as Wally and Dick, seeing as they are BF's?
Sometimes.
Great show. Please keep up the excellent work.
YJ questions
Did Martian Manhunter ever assume detective John Jones identity?
Can Aqualad control the temperature of his water power?
How did Bibbo get a diner? Is this from the comics?
Other than the Secret Society, did Spider-Man's Sinister Six inspire The Light?
1. Uh, yeah. If you've been watching, you've seen John Jones already in "Targets".
2. I doubt it.
3. On Earth-16 he owns a diner.
4. Not at all. The Sinister Six is an attack squad. The Light is the polar opposite of that.
1)How do feel abou batman and wonder woman being a couple? And about WW and superman?
2)Any chance of a TV movie for YJ?
1. It all depends on how one develops the characters, but I'm not one of those guys that feels like either couple is an absolute must-see. Nor am I the type to think either is anathema.
2. No one's raised it over here.
How did you cast Alyson Stoner as Barbara Gordon?
How? Uh, Jamie Thomason and/or his talent coordinator called her agent, I assume. If you're asking how did we DECIDE to cast her as Barbara...?
I'm not sure I remember, but there were a handful of actresses who auditioned for Miss Martian (including Lacey, Mae and maybe Alyson) who didn't seem quite right for M'gann, but who were really good nevertheless and whom we kept in mind for future rolls.
